“The clients boost my day and hopefully I do the same for them.”

“My experience has been excellent and is now a part of my life.  I feel that I am making a difference.  Volunteers are critical to ARBI’s success.”

Andrea Henry, Volunteer. Senior Geologist.

Volunteers sustain our programs. They dedicated over 8,300 hours of time in 2010-11, equivalent to four full-time positions. Eighty-three % of our clients are supported by a volunteer.  

An average of 85 volunteers give of their time weekly to improve the lives of brain injury survivors, a selfless act that reflects the heart of our community. 

Volunteers are required to support individuals with severe acquired brain injuries. This is an ideal opportunity for individuals working from home, employed part-time, retired, semi-retired, with a flexible work schedule, or a student planning to enter medically related fields of study. 

Volunteers work diligently with the survivors to improve their quality of life. They receive in-depth training and on-going support to deliver each client’s unique program. The result: incredible relationships are formed and lives change forever.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Are physically able to implement the exercise portions of the program for one-on-one therapy
• Have a positive attitude
• Possess a great sense of humour
• Are willing to commit at least six months to make life better for a brain injury survivor
• Are available one weekday from 9:00-11:30 a.m. or 1:00-3:30 p.m.
• We also welcome volunteers for our group activities, which require less physical involvement. A variety of groups run throughout the week. Volunteers may choose the group based on its focus or by the time that suits their schedule. Please contact us for more information
